    What course are you doing/ what are you majoring in? What would you recommend?

    I'm transferring to B of IT next year at MQ. It's an internal transfer which makes it easier although I'll probably have to go to tafe/ a private college if I can't transfer. I don't know what to choose as a major. I have less than a week left to decide. I originally planned on cyber sec...

    Dropping out of uni altogether?

    As we're in the second half of the semester, it's a time where final major assessment deadlines are due and exams loom just ahead. Basically, a time of stress. I don't know how common this is, but I'm finding it very difficult to cope and it may be due to a number of reasons that are...

    Rant. Problem. Long scenario. I don't know what to do.

    Alright, this is going to be long. I'm very conflicted at the moment. Please bear with me. Okay so from year 10-12 there was a guy who liked me, let's call him Guy A. I never liked him back, but we became best friends because we were helping each other through dark times with family and...

    Transferring from BABEd @MQ to BEd @USYD

    Does anyone know the requirements for this transfer? If the transfer is for the next semester, UAC would rely on my atar is what I've gathered since there wouldn't be time to consider results. If my atar didn't reach the cutoff in the beginning, however, would it not be pointless to apply...

    University with a solid teaching course?

    I know that generally universities are renowned for, say, engineering or medical science but are there any that have good teaching courses? Or are they all generally the same? I head at UWS their Arts/ Teaching degree focused on the Arts aspect most of the time and crammed the teaching in...

    Anyone done MATH106 or know about it?

    I've read the summary in the handbook and the unit guide but it isn't very helpful. Looking at the assessments wasn't very helpful either. Doesn't give very much detail apart from being good for primary teachers and having something to do with culture and imagination which makes no sense to me...

    Thoughts on tutorials?

    I haven't had any yet since I'm a first year and tutorials don't start until second week but they seem quite intimidating. I think lectures are great. Sit wherever, don't go at all, do whatever you want really and no one will really pay any attention to you so it's much less pressure. From...

    Not enough credit points.

    So I'm confused. I'm doing a B arts w/ B edu (primary) which needs 96 credit points min. Compulsory units are 48 cp. Major is 24 cp. 1 people + 1 planet unit is 6cp. Which totals to 78cp. Where do i get the other 18 cp from? Do I do another major or something? Feels like I'm...

    Reference Letters from teachers

    So I graduated form high school this year and my mum is making me get reference letters from my teachers. I think it's a waste of time because getting a job at my age and level of experience (I have none) doesn't require a reference letter. Employers want reference letters that show experience...

    Smashed by internals, smash externals - decent atar possible?

    I know it does depend on the ranking because if internal marks are terrible but you're ranked top 5 and they were just hard, you're pretty good to go. However, what if you're at the half way mark or below for rankings and your school's standard isn't particularly high (say, >150 ranking). Is it...

    Can't concentrate; too much for me to handle

    This is probably one of the most crucial times in our HSC year where we pick up our game if necessary and study for the trials and whatnot but I can't concentrate. I have an research assessment due tmr and I can't seem to concentrate at all. For the past week and a half I tell myself that I need...

    He calls me mum.

    I feel really weird. When you have a friend of the gender that you're attracted to and they just consider you a friend, that's pretty sad. Being in the "friendzone" or whatever. But I've gone past that. I didn't even know it existed. My guy friend calls me "mum". I don't get it. I have never...

    When someone acts completely differently around friends then others than with you.

    A red flag should appear when someone acts completely differently amongst their friends or people in general than with you. That's what we're told anyway and it's perfectly logical. So would you trust someone that you've known for quite a while as a person in your general group of friends who...

    Sociology vs Psych/ Counselling vs Social Work

    This might a pointless thread and people might be asking "Why not just search it?". Well it's because google search has provided me with an overload of info and after reading similarly worded things I'm confused and I mean, what would I expect, they're pretty similar. So I don't know what course...

    So you'll be scaled down in your class isn't doing as well as you?

    I'm not completely sure about how this thing works with the scaling of classes and whatnot. Most of the things I've learnt from here rather than my school because they don't tell you anything Eg. how your school rank determines how many bands are given to the school so if you're at a school that...

    White noise.

    It's basically a combination of all frequencies of sound which creates that tv static sound. It's said to assist in sleep, studying and soothing migraines apparently as well as a multitude of other uses. So have you used it? Thoughts? When I had insomnia I used to have a lot of those ambience...

    How do you remain awake and stay focused during exam period?

    I have two exams tomorrow and having one every day prior to this means lack of sleep. I know I know, I should have studied early instead of just cramming the night before but this will be the last time it happens. What do you do when you have a number of exams over a small period of time? Do...

    Menstrual symptoms and remedies?

    Well I guess this is the most appropriate place to ask this but anyway, I just wanted to have a discussion on the symptoms some of us get on our cycles and what we can do to alleviate them. I do know there are plenty of suggestions and whatnot but I mean, do people really use the herbal...

    Which Skrzynecki poems did you use?

    Just wondering which two poems you guys used for your essays. I was told to choose St Pats and Migrant Hostel but I think Feliks and 10 Mary St have more to it. Is it because the first two I mentioned isn't overly used so there are fewer people to compare my essay to or something?
